Instructions
Step 1
In a small bowl, combine the apple cider vinegar, olive oil, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper. Whisk well until the ingredients are fully incorporated and the dressing is smooth. Set aside.
Step 2
Rinse the kale thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt or debris. Pat it dry with a paper towel or use a salad spinner to remove excess water. Remove the tough stems from the kale leaves and discard them. Tear or chop the kale leaves into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large salad bowl.
Step 3
Add the cilantro leaves, minced parsley, minced mint leaves, arugula, chopped scallions, chilled brown quinoa, crumbled feta cheese, crushed roasted walnuts, alfalfa sprouts, and diced jalapeño (if using) to the bowl with the kale.
Step 4
Pour the prepared dressing over the salad ingredients in the bowl. Toss the salad gently but thoroughly to ensure that all the ingredients are well coated with the dressing.
Step 5
Once the salad is evenly dressed, let it sit for about 5–10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Step 6
Serve the kale salad immediately as a refreshing side dish or a light meal. You can also refrigerate it for later use, but keep in mind that the kale may wilt slightly over time. Enjoy your delicious and nutritious kale salad!
